2000 AD #323

From the British comics institution that brought you Judge Dredd, 2000 AD Prog 323 (July 1983) spotlights Rogue Trooper in a cover by Brett Ewins that crackles with tension. The blue-skinned Genetic Infantryman charges forward armed and battle-ready, while beside him a slot-machine-style display counts down the biochips of his fallen comrades — Bagman, Gunnar, and Helm — with the ominous tagline "If His Number Comes Up, They All Die!" Inside, Grant, Grover, Ian Gibson, and Steve Potter continue "The Slaying of Slade" at Part 12, deep into one of Nu Earth's most gripping ongoing sagas.
